The ladies were most enchanted by what they saw and heard.
Eloise, a retired dance teacher, said, "Oh it's beautiful, it's such a ...
wonderful presentation of art and music and also the stories behind the
movements."
When asked which was her favorite performance, she replied, "Oh they're
all so good, it's so hard to ... yeah it's really hard. The ladies are
gorgeously beautiful dancers, so talented and the story, I appreciated the story
of course."
From the perspective of a dance teacher, Eloise shared thoughts on their
training. She said, "Oh I think they are so well trained. It appears that
they start from a very young age in order to reach that ability, and the
strength and the grace and beauty of all of their movements, I think it's just
amazing ... Obviously they've had a lot of outstanding training and it's
remarkable."
"I think the Chinese are a little more polished when it comes to telling a
story and ... about the actual conditions of their history and their lives and
their background, and it's just amazing how well they expressed it without
saying a word."
Winnie, a psychologist, was born in China and has lived in America since 1956.
She appreciated the stories told with the movements and the meanings behind the
dance and said, "I thought it was outstanding, they're all so talented and
they move so fluently and beautifully ... and to be able to express their ideas
and stories through movement without ... non verbally ... it was just amazing
how well they are doing it, I enjoyed it immensely."
"I guess the movement of course teaches ... benevolence, kindness and there
are rewards despite difficult times. At least that's one of the stories, the
one that was just before the last. Very moving. I mean we hear about [Falun
Gong] on the news."
